What a pretty wine. Gorgeous and grapey nose, spice, white pepper, jelly donut filling, and just so clean and vivid. Cesare has the touch. Palate is lush and juicy, with gorgeous fruit and such a subtle way about it. Really fine tannins and such incredible balance and delicacy. Such a sneaky persistent finish. This is so refined. I am blown away. What a wine. — a year ago
After sending back an oxidized, tired 2020 Rossi di Montalcino, the Somm had the waiter bring back this wine at around the same price point. Don’t sleep on #barberadalba from a great producer. Raspberry, plum, dusty dark fruit nose. So vibrant on the palate with lush yet tangy dark red fruit on the entry, gossamer tannins on the finish. Corking it after dinner and after the next day in the wine fridge still as alive. — 2 months ago

Anyone who has written off 2017 across the board is short sighted. Great winemakers make great wine in difficult vintages.
Nose is classic. Sweet tobacco. Really perfumed. Wow. Wow wow wow. So elegant. Almost a wine of yesteryear.
As this opens you get cherry liquor. Intense perfume.
Palate has amazing texture. Very Silky. Sweet cherries. A very light cherry liquor. Palate staining. Very elegant. Only 14.5% and perfectly integrated. Very good freshness.
Almost like gods cherry water lingering on the finish. Cherry licorice.
Just killing it out of the gate. Some grippy tanins. Should age quite nicely.
The level of pristine ness in this wine is off the charts.
Could be better than a 9.5 in 5 years. It’s hard to say how this will process. But the bedrock of the balance elegance and structure is there.
Whoop. As this opens it’s getting that 9.6+ heavenly perfume. It is passing the hump of delicious into the realm of profound. Psychotic lsd made from cherries and spice. My god. 9.6 is the floor.
Ok nose is almost truffly at 1 hour. Sick. Now a 9.7.
Something in this wine that is just a fiber optic cable to the wine geek pleasure zone. Motherfucker hacked my brain.
Finish is gods juice. So savory and long and juicy. Wow. Liquid pleasure.
Pardon my French. This is the Fucking shit. The fucking shit!!! Almost tears of joy drinking this.

Very smooth tannins and slightly earthy aromas from this very drinkable Barbaresco, 100% nebbiolo. Definitely some aging potential. — 17 days ago
